A smart breaker is very much a standard circuit breaker, that operates on electromagnetic and thermal protection. They trip like a standard breaker, the reset like a standard breaker, but they're a bit more complex than one.
A typical smart breaker has both line-voltage and low-voltage terminals that get wires landed on them. The line-voltage terminal is just like a regular breaker, accepting the load conductor that goes out to a circuit. The low-voltage terminal is a much lower voltage signal input that allows communication to happen from a low voltage controller. This controller will communicate with the breaker remotely and can command the breaker to turn on or turn off. There's also a manual override switch on them that will allow a user to "break" the communication circuit manually.
The reason smart breakers are used, for example in large grocery stores, is to be able to monitor specific equipment that food is stored in (refrigerated deli cases). If something happens to that piece of equipment, and it just shuts off, the workers may not know anything has happened and the food could spoil quickly. Extrapolate this to the entire store going down, you could imagine the catastrophe that could cause. So when there's a problem, the remote monitoring service that watches over the store can see it and address it immediately.
Another use for smart breakers is for lighting control. For the same reason as above, if several rows of lighting go down, monitoring will know about it immediately. So in a way, smart breakers are similar to shunt-trip breakers in that they can signal the breaker to turn on and off from a remote location or an event, rather than the breaker only being able to be manually turned on and off while standing in front of it.

Many of us electricians aspire to be great at running jobs efficiently. Some of us are just thrown into the position of running jobs and don’t have the knowledge yet on HOW to be great at it. In todays episode of Electrician U, Dustin shares with us 6 ways to be efficient at running work.

1. Keep your materials tracked and organized. Try to place the materials for the jobsite close to where the work will be performed. Putting them in an area that is not directly being worked in (by your crew AND other trades) is helpful so you don’t spend time moving them back and forth. If you are in warmer/sunnier climates, keep in mind that anything stored outside will become scorching hot- so maybe in the shade if possible.
2. Keep good notes. These can be kept ON the drawings (if you have these on the job), but notebooks are also helpful in organizing your notes. Using colored pencils/highlighters helps identify different facets of the work and can be helpful in determining what is completed versus what is still needing to be finished. You should keep running lists of the materials that are needed, questions that have arisen during construction, to do lists, and maybe even lists of which workers you want doing certain tasks so when they complete one task, the next one is available to be started.
3. Walk the job before work starts and at the end of the day. Walking the project before the work crews start will allow you to plan the days activities without being inundated with questions from the crew. Walking the project at the end of the day while everyone is cleaning up will let you check the work done (and you do need to check EVERYONES!) and see which areas still need attention. You still need to be present DURING the day also, but before/after shift just gives you time to actually look in depth with less interruptions.
4. Keep materials stocked in your van/truck. The supply house may NOT be close to you so having extras is important as you cant plan for everything every time. And if you (or someone) had to leave the job to run back and forth to the supply house is just wasting hours when they could be using those hours to actually put in the work. Try to keep a few of the most common items you use on projects on the van (in some type of orderly fashion so you know what you have). Receptacles, wire, boxes, wire connectors, etc.
5. Keep everyone on the jobsite working and productive. Its your job to keep everyone busy- you may not be able to wear your tools because you are constantly moving around keeping everyone supplied with tools/materials/knowledge/answers to questions. This is perfectly acceptable and a requirement of the job. The electricians underneath you NEED to learn how to put in the work, so if you are the one constantly doing the work, how would they get the experience.
6. Learn to shift gears. Some jobs have the $$ built in to allow us to take extra time and make it look really good. Some jobs do not have that. Learning when to apply each working style is important. There is a fine line between quality and speed and can be a balancing act at times. Put in the work properly every time, but know when to spend extra making it look really good versus installing as fast as you can install it.
We hope these 6 tips have been helpful in understanding some of the things it takes to run an efficient jobsite. Is there a topic you would like to see discussed on Electrician U? Leave us a comment in the comments section and let us know. Please continue to follow Dustin and Electrician U as we are constantly updated to assist our followers in becoming the best electricians that they can be.

Have you ever wondered why breakers have two amperage ratings? What's the difference between the one on the side that says "Interrupting Rating" and the one stamped on the handle of the breaker?

Typically when electricians talk about circuit breakers, we talk about the amperage rating that is written on the handle of the device. This is the "circuit rating" and it is intended to be the lowest point of current, which exceeded will trip a breaker. When you size a 30-amp circuit, you put a 30-amp breaker.
But every breaker has to have a second current rating as well, and this is called the "interrupting rating." An interrupting rating can be thought of as a maximum. It is the maximum amount of current that a breaker is designed to interrupt (correctly operate), before damaging the device. This is at the device's rated voltage as well...so no running 480v through a 240v rated device with an interrupting rating of 10kA.
Interrupting ratings are notated in kA, or thousands of amperes. For example, some standard kA ratings you'll see on devices are 10kA or 22kA, this means 10,000 and 22,000 amperes respectively. Also notice that you can have a two different breakers, with two different interrupting ratings, and still both breakers can have the same ampere rating on the handle. The handle ampere rating is what is protecting the conductors that are hooked up to the breaker - whereas the interrupting rating is protecting the actual breaker itself.

For the first few years I did everything on my own. Most small YouTube creators go through this struggle. When your numbers are small, there's just not as much to do in a day. You can record some things, sit and edit the video, build the channel playlists, build your own website, get blog posts/vlogs put together, check social media and constantly post images/videos/reels, and then go about your day. But as you grow, the interactions start to flood in. A few messages per week turn into a few hundred, then a few thousand per week. At a certain point you grow beyond the ability to keep up with everything.
Also gaining sponsors becomes a TON more work, and if you don't have people around you - you could end up falling behind and damaging a relationship with a sponsor. I'm guilty of this too. So I started hiring. I realized I'm not a tax expert, I'm not good at scheduling appointments, keeping calendars, animating, keeping books, coding websites, and all of the other crazy tasks it takes to keep something like this going. So I reached out and started having people, one at a time, come aboard and take on small tasks for me.
The list grew, and grew..then the divorce..then Covid..then the list shrank back to just me again...then I got through it all, just kept plugging away, and now I have a fairly decent-sized group of people helping me make my dreams a reality. Thank you all for your constant help, for your willingness to make my dreams a reality, for all the crazy little odds and ends, and last minute details you cover, for the headaches, for the HEAVY amount of le

While Dustin and the rest of us here at Electrician U tend to work very hard at coming up with interesting topics and producing quality videos and instruction, sometimes we just get a bit silly and need to blow off a little steam! In this episode, our video editor Drake from Descant Music and Video sent Dustin a “care package” of “best gifts for electricians”, didn’t tell him what was coming, and had him open the packages while on camera. Very entertaining to say the least!

First on the unveiling, a multi-tool pen set, which seems like it would be a very practical and useful gift for any tradesman or woman! Complete with pen/pencil, LED flashlight, super small Phillips and straight blade screwdriver, ruler, stylus, and a level one would think it has appeal to the tradesperson, so Dustin rates it a 6 on a scale of 1-10 as it is a bit hokey, and most electricians would already have most of these items on their person daily anyway.
Next up, a multi socket that will cover many different sizes without having to change from one size to the next. While good in theory as you wouldn’t have to carry your entire socket set to the work area, Dustin is gracious in his -9.6 rating as it didn’t drive the smaller headed screws very well and the thing started falling apart about 20 seconds into the test on literally the second screw! I would NOT spend the money on this tool- Epic Fail.
A magnetic wristband is the next item to be tested. The wristband wraps around your wrist and has several strips of magnets that can hold your fasteners ON your wrist, without having to hold them IN your hand, freeing that up to steady your work. Dustin gives it an 8 out of 10 as it does in fact seem very useful in th
